What is GPC?
Global Privacy Control is a browser signal indicating the user wants to opt out of data sales/sharing. It's recognized under CCPA / CPRA (California), Colorado, and Connecticut.
How theConsent handles it
When a visitor has GPC enabled in their browser:
- theConsent auto-rejects all non-necessary categories
- The banner does not display (no user action required)
- The "Reopen" pill still appears so they can change their mind
Disable
You can disable GPC respect in Banner Builder → Behaviour. We recommend leaving it on for CCPA compliance.
